Proper Etiquette To Follow For Hair Salon Appointments

By Sharon Weeks


People loves getting pampered. It is because of that fact that people love going to spas and salons. These are places where these stressed out people can visit to get relief. Booking for an appointment for hairstyling is a good idea, just make sure to remember the proper etiquette when booking for one. Here are tips worth remembering when visiting a salon.

First, you must make sure to never go there late. If you arrive at the hair salon a few minutes late of your reservation, then you should not be offended if ever you get a short shrift. You might end up losing your appointment altogether. Being late is your blunder and you have to take the responsibility for it. When being late is unavoidable, then call up the stylist to let them know about it.

There are popular hairstyles that are being published in fashion and beauty magazines. If you find something to your liking, better take pictures of it and discuss with the stylist. The stylist will give a professional opinion, whether or not the style fits you well. Discussing things with the expert is a good way of getting better hairstyles.

Styling usually takes up a lot of time out of your daily routine. That is why you must make sure to inform your stylist about how much time you want to spend for the said task each day. At most, you have to spend ten minutes for the said task. You should never ask for a hairstyle that will take longer than that to style.

The cost of a service must be taken into account as well. This is mainly because you got to be aware exactly how much you have to pay when the service ends. Never wait when the service is all over. Moreover, never make an estimate of what the cost is according to what price you know other spas are charging with. Otherwise, you might be shocked with your final bill.

Speaking out is something you should not hesitate. However, speaking out does not mean you should be discourteous toward the spa's staff members or your stylist. Better speak out but in a courteous manner. Show some graciousness when calling out a professional regarding something you need.

When you have taken a shine to the services offered to you by an expert, you better remember to leave a tip. Your normal gratuity rate for those working in a salon is around ten to twenty percent. Basically, this is customary. By tipping generously, you should be able to enjoy future benefits.

Keep your interaction with a stylist on a professional level. Never think that just because you have discussed a bit of your personal details in life with a professional, you are now best friends for life even outside of the business environment. Otherwise, you will find it awkward to raise up some concerns or issues.

When getting a hairstyle, keep your phone inside your bag. Only answer your cell phone or use it when you think that it is really necessary. Otherwise, you will come off as an extremely rude person. The stylist's work will also be affected if you are too focused on sending text messages, calling, or answering emails.
